My favorite is War All the Time with a painting, but that's just because of the painting, so maybe that doesn't count. My favorite book type book is At Terror Street and Agony Way. It's unique in BSP history (I think Martin was going for a smaller scale Webb book), and it's kind of a little mystery, with poems not listed in Krumhansl, and some stuff that wasn't reprinted to death.

I know. I should have struck a deal with them before my above comment!

Hey, thanks. I can't take credit for the art prints, other than publishing them. I farm out the printing to a really great fine art printer in Rhode Island. He can do a better job (and cheaper) than we could here. The shop here is slowly but surely figuring out the finer details of letterpress printing, as opposed to foil stamping, which the owner has done for a quarter century at least. All the cards are done here at the shop, the prints farmed out to Rhode Island. Hope to do them all here soon.
MY second fav is "Terror." As posted previously, I own. #16. Rockin. Would really dig hearing what other peeps have and dig... Thanks to all who have commented already!

My ecco copy of burning in water drowning in flame. It's so teasing and magnetic.

I only possess five books from Bukowski (the others that I have read have been borrowed in libraries or from a friend to whom I have transmitted my bukmania). I read a lot so it will ruin me to buy every book I want to read :D...and I have less and less place in my room.
But I am a bibliophile, I do love books as objects and I guess that once I will finish my studies, find a job and have my own home, I will begin collecting some beautiful pieces, and not only from Buk...for the moment, I content myself with collecting barrettes with flowers to put in my hair :D
The favourite Buk book I own is a second-hand specimen from Women because I like the mystery surrounding that kind of books ; they have a past, a previous owner, and all that renders me very curious.

And I, in the suite of my dreams...
Sounds like a great offer from Ponder; very gentlemanly, from a gentleman.

Livy Painting "Love" @ 4 years Old
Pardon me for being sappy.
My first and last fridge post.
But it makes sense here... ^^^
The next generation of collector agrees.
(In my will, she has quite a BUK collection already...)
And, as Lennon let this orb know, Love Is All You Need...
Olivia, 4 years old "” it's never too young to create...and warm your hands around "Love."
Pax, Roni. From across the pond...
(Footnote: Big bro helped minorly, but it is her creation.)

Yes, my very favorite Buk in my collection is my hardcover of Factotum. It isnt numbered or signed, or a first edition. Its just words. I love it.
My favorite is probably a battered copy of Bone Palace Ballet. I think it was the first Buk book that my dad gave me (he's piled them on since then so my memory is fuzzy).
I also credit Post Office with finally getting me to quit an especially crappy job back in college so that one is up near the top.

Oh so sweeeeeeeeeeet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's funny how Hank helped some of us to take capital decisions !
'Tales of Ordinary Madness', hands down... quintessential Buk genius in my opinion.
And it doesn't hurt that his observations on the the whore mother that is LA and the depths of human degeneracy possible there so reflects my experience. Wish I could write like that, but there never will be another.
I'd say RIP, but I don't believe he'd know how to handle it if he got it.

Yeah, LA is a terrible place. I highly suggest everyone stays away.

And you can read all about it in Feral child's upcoming autobiography, A Mormon In Tinseltown: One Boy's Story of Debauchery and Eternal Damnation. Available in LDS bookstores everywhere.
